A bit overdue but, in response to your instruction in our meeting of 1 October, attached
please find a draft letter to anyone requesting either the full CRU raw data set, or the
data sent to GaTech. As per instructions, this letter acknowledges the request, answers it
in the negative, and cuts short/resolves any internal review of the response, providing
instruction to the requester to go directly to the ICO. It's a bit of a pastiche of a
number of letters but hopefully ticks all the boxes.

Whilst I can understand the reasoning behind the letter, I think the ICO will probably take
a pretty dim view of deciding the review before it's done! However, we can always claim
that we are simply trying to simplify and expedite a process whose outcome is already
known.....
